Application Setup

This container is just a dockerised version of bitswired/fuseai, Please report any issues with this app here!

The WebUI can be accessed at http://your-ip:3000, you must specify an OpenAI API Key in settings before using, go to http://your-ip:3000/settings, enter the API key, and press save.

If you would like to setup multi-user support, use the .env template here, and copy the other variables.

Usage

Example snippets to start creating a container:

Docker Compose

---
services:
  ai-chat-app:
    image: ghcr.io/imagegenius/ai-chat-app:latest
    container_name: ai-chat-app
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - NEXTAUTH_SECRET=secret
      - NEXTAUTH_URL=http://192.168.1.2:3000
      - ADMIN_EMAIL=example@me.com
      - ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
    volumes:
      - path_to_appdata:/config
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    restart: unless-stopped

Docker CLI (Click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=ai-chat-app \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e NEXTAUTH_SECRET=secret \
  -e NEXTAUTH_URL=http://192.168.1.2:3000 \
  -e ADMIN_EMAIL=example@me.com \
  -e ADMIN_PASSWORD=password \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v path_to_appdata:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/imagegenius/ai-chat-app:latest

Parameters

To configure the container, pass variables at runtime using the format <external>:<internal>. For instance, -p 8080:80 exposes port 80 inside the container, making it accessible outside the container via the host's IP on port 8080.

Parameter	Function
-p 3000	WebUI Port
-e PUID=1000	UID for permissions - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	GID for permissions - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Etc/UTC	Specify a timezone to use, see this list.
-e NEXTAUTH_SECRET=secret	Used to encrypt the NextAuth.js JWT and to hash email verification tokens, set to something long and random.
-e NEXTAUTH_URL=http://192.168.1.2:3000	Set this to the IP:port used to access the container.
-e ADMIN_EMAIL=example@me.com	Email used to access the WebUI.
-e ADMIN_PASSWORD=password	Password used to access the WebUI.
-v /config	Contains the database

Umask for running applications

All of our images allow overriding the default umask setting for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 option. Note that umask works differently than chmod and subtracts permissions based on its value, not adding. For more information, please refer to the Wikipedia article on umask here.

User / Group Identifiers

To avoid permissions issues when using volumes (-v flags) between the host OS and the container, you can specify the user (PUID) and group (PGID). Make sure that the volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify, and the issues will disappear.

Example: PUID=1000 and PGID=1000. To find your PUID and PGID, run id user.

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Updating the Container

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app. We do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Check the Application Setup section for recommendations for the specific image.

Instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Compose

• Update all images: docker-compose pull
  • or update a single image: docker-compose pull ai-chat-app
• Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
  • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d ai-chat-app
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Run

• Update the image: docker pull ghcr.io/imagegenius/ai-chat-app:latest
• Stop the running container: docker stop ai-chat-app
• Delete the container: docker rm ai-chat-app
• Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
